They haves some awesome "behind the scenes" tours available sometimes when pre-arranged. The reptile and penguin ones are fantastic. Pass this zoo almost every day. It's reputation is so well deserved.
You should do the big cats behind the scenes. We got to go underneath big cat country to see where they house all the cats and it’s incredible how close you get to the lions and tigers. They’re so beautiful up close.
I am a volunteer docent at this zoo. In particular, I have a friendship with an orangutan named Merah. At 51 years old, she’s seen a great deal, but she loves looking at pictures of ballplayers in my Baseball Hall of Famers book. The Colobus monkeys like the pictures too. There was one time where I went to the bathroom. When I came back, they were still sitting right near the glass wanting to see more pictures.
Wonderful! Long ago in depression days the zoo was free and about the only place a family could be entertained. Back in the day, there were lion, elephant and chimp shows, lion and tiger cubs brought to grassy areas for children to pet and elephant rides. Not possible today, of course, but all fondly remembered. I've often said I was raised at the zoo, it was my family's favorite activity. So glad it's still a free experience and constantly improving.
My 3 year old and myself really enjoyed this video from NC. We appreciate all the time and great videos you were able to capture of all the animals. Thank you!
The Penguin/Puffin Coast feels wonderful on a hot and humid St Louis summer day! I like close by and will often go when they first open and beat the crowds. We pay a bit of an extra tax to keep the zoo free. Many other attractions in Forest Park are free as well…courtesy of that small tax.
St. Louis native, just visited the Zoo yesterday and visited the new primate exhibit that they showed in the video and couldn't recommend it more. All of the primates shown in the video that are indoors are now able to access the outside exhibit when they please, through a series of tunnels connected to their interior enclosures. They also have a climbing course to climb up to the same level as the monkeys, fun for both kids and adults.
We really enjoyed watching the incredible video you captured from the St. Louis Zoo, including the high quality zooms you were able to get. Hope you don't mind if I ask what type of camera you were using?
@@Powerranger-le4up since you're familiar with the zoo, how easy (or hard) is it to find shade throughout the zoo? Just trying to figure out if I'll die if I go in the summer or if I should wait for our 3 days of fall.
There are other animals besides snakes in the Reptile house. You don’t have to look at the snakes, but there are frogs, lizards, hellbenders, and turtles too.
Yes the pacing behavior depends on the animal. Some animals do have stereotypical behaviors that have a symptom of pacing and are treated by the keepers. And other animals like jaguars and zebras practice the territory patrol.

Yeah that's a really good zoo. I always love it when i hear free. You still end up spending plenty lol
There are only three AZA accredited zoos that have free admission.

Glad to hear that
The climbing course at primate canopy may be fun for kids, but not so much for adults. I’ve only done it once and almost got stuck a couple times.
One of the finest zoos i have ever visited
the primate canopy trail opens up next month can't wait 😁
As a Saint Louis resident I approve , also the staff is very friendly so that makes it nice too :))
great video 😊
What a beautiful zoo that exhibited animals superbly!
Love your vlogs....You say you live near Disney. As do I.....Clermont FL. Keep up the great work.
Oh dang, you are one town over from us
I grew up in saint louis. Saint Louis have a good zoo.
Awesome! Amezing! Wonderful.
I’m going to St. Louis this weekend!
That's a great zoo
You need to check out st louis mo aquarium and you guys go to Kansas city zoo
Awesome zoo!

Sony FDR AX53
I came to the comments to say and ask the same thing! Thanks
I live near St.Louis so I go to St.Louis Zoo, and of course the St.Louis Cardinals games as well
The leaf one is coolest
You’re lucky that a lot of the animals were out and active. Usually you will not see all of them out like this especially the cats.
I usually go around 9:30 and 10 because they’re most active when they first come out.
A Capybara is literally my favorite animal!! It's my profile pic for My Disney+ Account!! LOL
You should go to the Brookfield zoo, it’s really cool
We were at the Brookfield zoo last week
@@IntheLoopPodcast you should post it on UA-cam, that’s cool
It is in the “things to edit” pile with 13 other videos
I am going in November next month
Im going to the zoo
On the 28
Woah the google ads were correct. The St. Louis zoo is open lol
❤❤❤❤
I have been drenched by the penguins multiple times
animal planet did a series on the st louis zoo. it was very interesting
Just went there if you don’t mind answering what do did you go ?
Was at the zoo on May 6th
@@IntheLoopPodcast oh I went on June 1
Did you get to see any bats?
🦇💝🦇💝
No bats there.
@@HonestlyAnnaFun aww too bad🙀
The soccer balls are there more for enrichment.
How long does it take to enjoy the entire zoo?
Depends on you pace and interests but between 3-5 hours
@@IntheLoopPodcast thanks!
I’ve been known to stay six hours since I’m one of the volunteers.

@@angiebee2225 It’s well shaded with tons of trees, water fans, buildings with AC to cool down…
7:31
9:40 that is coming from the gorillas’ armpits.
I feel that I hate snakes a lot and I'm scared of them so I can't go into the snake house because of that
There are other animals besides snakes in the Reptile house. You don’t have to look at the snakes, but there are frogs, lizards, hellbenders, and turtles too.
I like the Madagascar area. But I didn't like the spider area. . . no thanks to spiders
Though spooky, spiders eat other insects we see as pests. They're creepy but helpful.

That pacing the animals do is not activeness its a sign of severe bordeom bordering on torture...its common in zoos
I volunteer there. What you actually saw was a common behavior called territory patrolling.
Yes the pacing behavior depends on the animal. Some animals do have stereotypical behaviors that have a symptom of pacing and are treated by the keepers. And other animals like jaguars and zebras practice the territory patrol.
Is that snow leopard partially blind his eyes are not in sync
I noticed that too
